Gastroenteritis: Gastroenteritis, or stomach flu, is no fun! vomiting and diarrhea are the hallmark. Some have fever, too. Clear liquids with calories, electrolytes are best to avoid dehydration. Start with small sips every 10", advance as tolerated. Avoid spicy, greasy foods and dairy. A bland brat diet is a good place to start. (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast).
